Police arresting a man for stealing mail from mailboxes on East New York Avenue.

Thief Targeting Mailboxes Arrested

A thief who had been stealing mail from mailboxes was arrested late Tuesday night after an alert resident spotted him stealing mail from a building on Brooklyn Avenue and called the police.

Officers responded to Brooklyn Avenue between East New York Avenue and Maple Street at around 2:00am and apprehended a Black man who the resident pointed out. A quick search of his possessions yielded mail from six different locations around the borough of Brooklyn – none of which belonged to him.

The man was arrested for possession of stolen property.
